I wonder if a soldier ever does mend a bullet hole in his coat?
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
We didn't have a drill so he would burn the holes through the wood with a metal rod that he heated up in a fire. Can you imagine an ordinary crew doing that?
No one is going to stick their head out of the trenches for someone they don't respect or trust. You can get shot doing that.
There's another issue here - and I have some limits as to what I can say - but there's some real question as to the viability of the chemical masks, the protective gear used by our soldiers.
The gunner's mate came up and started breaking the locks on the ammunition. Everything was locked up for fear that someone might go in there with a cigarette or something.
I doubt there's anything you could say to Donald Rumsfeld that would puncture the armor of his narcissism.
I believe that a man is the strongest soldier for daring to die unarmed.
As a civilian during the Second War, I was exposed to danger in circumstances which removed any distinction between the man in and the man out of uniform.
Yes; quaint and curious war is! You shoot a fellow down you'd treat if met where any bar is, or help to half-a-crown.
I think every red-blooded male enjoys brandishing a firearm.
Ask any soldier. To kill a man is to merit a woman.
